Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 805

6 million and 20 billion.

This is a very different offer from Penguin and Friends.com.

Normally, when you hear such a price, it means that you have nothing to talk about and you have to turn around and go back.

However, the field of communication software is unusual, which deserves Penguin's great attention and vigilance.

However, Mr. Fang, the richest man in the mainland, is unusual, which deserves more consideration from Penguin executives.

but……

As the Spring Festival is approaching, those who celebrate the New Year are here. It is also appropriate for everyone to eat together and check each other's sincerity and situation.

Friends.com and Dating.com have been fighting since last year to this year. Like Wang Xing, it is the first time for him to sit face to face in front of Zeng Liqing, one of the "Penguin Five Tigers".

As for the gathering of the five tigers and the specifications of the president Liu Chiping, they never even thought about it.

During dinner time, a round table was divided into two sides, Fang Zhuo and Ma Huateng were sitting next to each other.

Next to Fang Zhuo is Wang Xing, the founder of Youyou.com, followed by investors from Goldman Sachs, Shenxin Kechuang, IDG and other institutions. Ma Huateng's side is not Zeng Liqing who is in charge of Dating.com, but Liu Chiping, the president who is increasingly leading the group's affairs. .

The difference in the purchase price was not discussed at the dinner table, and the two sides had no intention of discussing it at all.

"Mr. Fang, your vision is still strong. This time Lehman's stock price will fall, I am afraid that the cycle will not be short. The US real estate market will cool down for a while." Ma Huateng chatted about the things that have been hotly discussed on the Internet recently.

"The situation in the United States may be even more serious. Looking at the follow-up development, I always feel that its real estate market is too closely connected with the financial market." Fang Zhuo shared his opinion, "The transmission from real estate to finance is too high , It spreads quickly when it’s hot, and it doesn’t slow down when it’s cold.”

"Is it even more serious? Mr. Fang, do you think HSBC's loss is not an exception?" Ma Huateng was very interested.

Fang Zhuo nodded, not hesitate to talk about the signals that have appeared in the US real estate and financial markets.

The two speakers chatted about bigger and more distant topics.

For example, Wang Xing, Xu Kaiwei, Wang Fengyi, Xiong Xiaoge and others chatted with Penguin's top management about some of the competition in the past year.

The rivalry between the two sites is sometimes not so civilized.

Why do you have a lot of micro-innovation, and I spend a lot of money to dig a small amount of advertising.

What you marked as authentic in the promotion of stealing vegetables, I immediately advertised the highest number of farm players on the entire network.

All sorts of funny stories about the rivalry between Friends.com and Dating.com made everyone laugh.

It's not easy for those who celebrate the new year. Although Wang Xing was bullied miserably by Penguin's traffic style, it was impossible for him to splash soup on the opposite side in front of Mr. Fang, so he could only show his demeanor and hearty smile.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

At this time, the restaurant served a new dish, which was several fishes on a plate.

Zeng Liqing took a bite with his chopsticks and exclaimed, "What kind of fish is this? It tastes very good and fresh."

Fang Zhuo glanced at it and said with a smile, "It's Jiang Dao, known as the No. [-] delicacy in the Yangtze River. Don't underestimate it. It's estimated to cost ten thousand yuan a catty."

Zeng Liqing was speechless: "So expensive?"

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly: "It's not cheap, but it's expensive for its own sake, otherwise, how could a person like Mr. Zeng think it's very fresh, and it's not easy to eat such a plump saury today. Not really yet.”

"The reason why you are expensive is expensive".

"Change the point, it may not be true yet".

Everyone understood the natural overtones of a knifefish.

Ma Huateng poured a glass of wine and said respectfully: "Fish is good, but different people have different habits. I prefer seafood fish rice from my hometown. It is sweet and firm, and it is soft and smooth when paired with porridge. The price is not expensive."

Fang Zhuo clinked glasses with him, and said with great interest: "Really? Then I must try it. Different places and different people have different eating habits, but I like trying different styles of food the most. Pony never forgets it." , then I must try.”

"Haha, the seafood from the south is shipped to the north, and the price has become more expensive." Ma Huateng put down his wine glass.

"The price is not a problem, Pony, I don't need to pay for it. This time I shorted Lehman, like Mr. Xiong, he invested money with him. Now that he has made money, can you treat me to a seafood fish meal?" Fang Zhuo smiled. He looked at Xiong Xiaoge.

Xiong Xiaoge immediately stated: "Facts have proved that shorting Lehman is the right thing to do. I have always believed in Mr. Fang's vision. Mr. Fang wants to eat seafood and fish rice, so I will definitely invite you. However, seafood is not only available in the south, but also in the north. There is also a fishing port, so it’s not too expensive.”

Wang Fengyi of Shenxin Kechuang took the drinking vessel and got up to pour the wine for Mr. Fang.

Xu Xin of Capital Today held his chopsticks with piercing eyes.

Xu Kaiwei from Goldman Sachs raised his wine glass slightly with a solemn expression.

If Mr. Fang wants to try Penguin's Seafood and Fish Rice, it's not like he can't follow suit.

Fight hard to see, lose is normal, win blood to earn!
Penguin's executives looked at this scene, their expression changed slightly.

Ma Huateng still smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Fang doesn't need to discuss the price factor when eating seafood and fish rice. If you want to try something new, it's just that the food in different places may be too fresh and you may not be used to it."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "That's true."

drink, drink.

The atmosphere returned to relaxation.

After a few more drinks, Ma Huateng asked Yi Ke about the mobile phone project he was working on, and said that he had watched Apple's press conference and felt that the changes brought about by touch-screen mobile phones were amazing.

When Fang Zhuo talked about this topic, it was an expression of true feelings.

Cell phones are really hard to do.

Yike's mobile phone needs to overcome many difficulties before it can hope to occupy a place in the highly competitive mobile phone market.

Ma Huateng could hear Mr. Fang's familiarity with all aspects of mobile phones. After listening carefully for a long time, he sighed: "Yes, there are Nokia, Blackberry, Microsoft, and the new Apple in smartphones. None of them can be ignored. Yike must concentrate to compete, after all, this is the first time to make a mobile phone."

Both of them are right. Yike needs to make a good mobile phone, and don't get involved in any communication.

Fang Zhuo and Ma Huateng are very familiar. Hearing this exclamation, he just smiled and said: "Indeed, Pony, you must concentrate resources to do things, no matter what field you are in. This time you fly here in person, and Mr. Zeng and Mr. After canceling the vacation, I can actually feel the sincerity."

"No matter what the final discussion is, no matter what plans Mr. Wang has for Friends.com, I believe that as long as everyone competes in a healthy way, we can bring a better experience to domestic users."

Fang Zhuo raised his last glass of wine: "It's not early, let's drink here today."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the last glass of wine.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Penguin executives said goodbye to Mr. Fang and went to the hotel by car.

Later, people from Fang Zhuo's side also left, but Xu Kaiwei from Goldman Sachs stayed.

"Mr. Xu, people from Fb will be on their way tomorrow, so let's talk about this with Liu Chiping." Fang Zhuo informed the latest news.

"Is Zuckerberg coming?" Xu Kaiwei asked.

"He won't come, but it's okay to have a senior vice president in the lead and an important investor to accompany him," Fang Zhuo said.

Xu Kaiwei smiled and said, "No way, Mr. Fang, are you serious?"

"It's not about who you sell it to. If the penguin is really not at a premium, then just sell it to Fb." Fang Zhuo said indifferently, "Let's talk, let's talk. I have communicated with Wang Xing. Friends.com is right We are open to cooperation and negotiation.”

He asked again: "Mr. Xu, is it convenient for you to communicate with Liu Chiping?"

Just as Xu Kaiwei was about to speak, his phone vibrated and received a text message.

He glanced at it, and directly showed the screen to Mr. Fang, and it turned out to be Liu Chiping, the president of Penguin.

"With a Goldman Sachs background, we can still talk about it. Besides, he is very successful in Goldman Sachs." Xu Kaiwei said, "The most important thing is that he must also feel the difficulty of me promoting you here. Tomorrow, Just don't show up, just let Wang Xing be there."

Fang Zhuo pondered for a while: "I think so too. Tomorrow I will meet with the leader to discuss other matters during the day, and in the evening I will host a banquet for the Fb people."

Friends.com is not about surrendering to Dating.com as a defeated person—Penguin can’t have such a mentality, but to see if you give too much.

If Penguin wants to cut off Fb, avoid the challenges in the communication field, and let Dating.com add more real-name user groups, then it needs to show more moving sincerity.

Six hundred million is far from enough, and the minimum basis for negotiation is one billion or more.

If you don't earn a little of your hard-earned money, how can you explain to my investors and brothers!
